    HEMOGLOBINA GLICOSILADA Y EL GRADO DE SARCOPENIA: UNA REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Medicina, 2024-06-10) Sacón Ayerbe, Camila Salomé; Cevallos Teneda, Andrea Carolina
    Type II diabetes mellitus (DM2) and sarcopenia are conditions with high prevalence and significant complications, making them important public health problems. This study is based on a systematic review of 12 original scientific articles published between January 2019 and June 2023, focusing on the relationship between DM2 and sarcopenia. The findings indicate an increasing prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with DM2, especially when glycemic control is inadequate. It was observed that glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels above 8.5% are associated with an increased risk of developing sarcopenia. The studies reviewed also suggest that the most effective treatment to mitigate sarcopenia is a combination of endurance exercise and nutritional counseling. Although HbA1c is a useful indicator for monitoring glycemic control, it does not reflect daily fluctuations in glucose levels, which are also an important factor in the development of sarcopenia. The review concludes that early diagnosis and multidisciplinary intervention are crucial to prevent and treat sarcopenia in patients with DM2.
